Overview
- Ricky Alcantara-Hernandez was charged Monday with three counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety as a party to a crime and one count tied to possessing a machine gun.
- Police say the takeovers spanned late April 25 into early April 26 across several Milwaukee intersections, drawing hundreds as calls about fireworks and possible gunfire poured in.
- Investigators linked him to a white Dodge Charger with a Pink Panther wrap and the handle 'SRT.RICK414' after videos spread on Instagram, where he also asked followers to send clips.
- During a search at his Southtowne Place residence on April 29, officers arrested him, seized nine guns including two fully automatic weapons, and collected phones, key-programmer tablets, cameras, a credit card scanner, and ammunition.
- Court records note potential penalties of up to 43 years in prison and $85,000 in fines, and police say the investigation continues with more charges possible under the city’s wider push to curb street takeovers.
